Why Choose PK Cell Lithium-Ion Batteries
✓ Verified Minimum Capacity Guarantees
Every PK Cell battery includes both typical and minimum capacity specifications - the 3500mAh cell guarantees minimum 3325mAh versus competitors claiming 4000mAh that actually test at 2400mAh. This transparency enables accurate battery pack design calculations without safety margin guesswork.
✓ Complete Technical Documentation
Comprehensive datasheets include actual charge profiles, temperature derating curves, cycle life testing methodology, and safety test results. Professional builders receive the technical data necessary for proper BMS selection, thermal management design, and realistic performance projections.
✓ Consistent Cell Matching Available
Batch-matched cells within 50mAh capacity variance available for multi-cell pack assembly. Consistent internal resistance and capacity distribution eliminates the common pack imbalance issues that occur when mixing cells from different production runs or manufacturers.
✓ ICR Chemistry Energy Density
Lithium Cobalt Oxide (ICR) chemistry provides maximum energy density for applications under 2C discharge rate. Where runtime matters more than peak power output, ICR cells deliver superior watt-hours per unit volume compared to INR chemistry alternatives.
✓ RoHS Compliant Construction
All PK Cell batteries meet RoHS environmental compliance standards for restricted substances. Documentation available for commercial applications requiring material composition verification and regulatory compliance confirmation for resale or integration projects.
✓ Optimal Storage Voltage Shipping
Cells ship at 3.7-3.85V storage voltage (approximately 50% state of charge) for maximum shelf life. This voltage range minimizes capacity degradation during shipping and storage, unlike cells shipped at full charge experiencing accelerated aging before first use.

Critical Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Requirements
Professional battery pack construction requires technical knowledge and appropriate safety equipment. We document these requirements transparently because proper lithium-ion handling protects both builders and end-users from preventable safety incidents.
Protection Systems Mandatory
BMS (Battery Management System) required for all multi-cell configurations - must include overcharge protection (4.2V max), over-discharge protection (2.5-3.0V min), and temperature monitoring for thermal management
Charging Requirements
Dedicated lithium-ion charger with CC/CV profile and 4.2V ±0.05V termination voltage required - NiMH chargers (1.4V termination) or non-compatible chargers create overcharge conditions and safety hazards
Handling Precautions
Always use insulating wraps and proper spacers in pack assembly - bare cell contact causes short circuits exceeding safe discharge limits, potentially igniting electrolyte vapors and compromising adjacent cells
Storage Guidelines
Store at 3.7-3.85V (40-50% state of charge) in temperature-controlled environment 15-25°C - storage at full charge or elevated temperatures accelerates capacity degradation (10-15% loss within 6 months)
